So you have a ~~question~~ trigger request?

You can post it here!

Hello and welcome to the Trigger Request Thread (TRT). This thread's purpose is only to place trigger requests and discuss them. If you have unrelated questions or need help with triggers, please use Azur's thread!

Before posting your request, it's always good to read the so-called FAQ.

What is a FAQ?
The term "FAQ" (when pronounced, it rhymes with "back") is an acronym for Frequently Asked Questions.
How do I install a trigger?
When we have finished making your trigger, we'll post the required code here. To install this code you will first of all need to find your way to the AoM installation folder. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Games\Age of Mythology by default). Now open the trigger folder if you intend to use the trigger in vanilla, or open the trigger2 folder if you use The Titans expansion. Next, open the file called typetest.xml. The only thing left to do is copy the code at the right position and save. If you requested a condition, then place the line above < /Conditions>, if you requested an effect paste it right above < /Effects>. Note the "s" at the end of both tags.

Notes:
1. When copying the trigger from someone please click first and only then copy the required code.
2. If you're still uncomfortable with installing triggers please backup the original typetest file, i.e. copy the original to another folder.
How do I uninstall a trigger?
If a trigger happens to be faulty or if it generates errors you better remove it. Just do as if you were installing a new trigger, but instead of copy-pasting new code, remove the code corresponding with the chosen trigger. Make sure to remove it completely, including the starting < effect > or < condition > tag and the corresponding < /effect > or < /condition > closing tag. Failure to do so properly will cause XML errors in the file making ALL triggers in that file inaccessbile for AoM.
So... How exactly are new triggers made?
AoM has a built-in engine that can parse XS code. Triggers are programmed and interpreted using this language through a series of existing functions. Since there are over 600 functions, and only a few are used by the default triggers, this leaves plenty of room for a whole new set of advanced, useful triggers.
Can I request anything?
Although we can do a lot with today's knowledge, there are still limitation we won't ever get around. So if you think of a cool new trigger, make sure to post a request but don't forget you might get a negative reply. Commonly requested triggers that are not possible include (but are not limited to):
- Modify Unit: change the stats of 1 particular unit.
- Change Playername
- Change Major God
- Transform ALL units on map for player
- I'll add more when I think of them.
I want to learn trigger scripting, how do I do that?
It takes quite some time, but if you really want to learn trigger coding, we recommend fully understanding XS language before you start making triggers. Therefore, go here: Master XS (WIP). If you want to skip all that, and you want to be able to create only simple triggers, read this guide.
Help! My triggers have stopped working!
Triggers Stop Working Guide. Also linking camera tracks, using Run Immediately, sound timers and decimals in conditions like Timer and Distance to Unit effect, might cause this. Moreover, typing an invalid name on the Victory Conditions will cause a trigger block. But post these sort of questions in the Great Question thread.

Posting a Request
So you have read the FAQ and want to post a request? OK, go for it, just be sure to use the following format:

Name - This should be as straightforward as possible. Try to comply with today's standards.
Description - Always describe the actions that you want the trigger to perform. 
Example - Optional. An example can be a great help when requesting complex triggers.


[b]Name[/b] - 
[b]Description[/b] - 
[b]Example[/b] -

We might even ignore posts in other formats if we're in a bad mood

Remember that not all triggers are possible but we will try our best.

I have been redoing my shop triggers as I am now more comfortable with kb queries. However the triggers fail to run! The trouble is I cannot see any syntax errors. Don't worry too much about the purpose but if the start and end triggers were put together in a trigger they do not work. What I want to know is what is wrong with the syntax or logic of these two triggers.

EDIT:I can't post them here the forum corrupts them.

Here is my trigtemp. With the two triggers with a grant god power in the middle. What is wrong?

The no big deal made the whole trigger work. For what's worth, I made it.

And I say good luck to you Elrich! I'd like to see you emerge as the third\second best trigger maker on AoM.

. (And I'm just kidding for those that don't quite understand.)

@ nottud
Welcome to ES obscure variable naming bugs. You can't name a variable player.

Fixing this is just a quick and simple rename of that variable to anything else.
You code looks very nice. But you don't need these lines:

      for(counterz = 0; > 1){}
      for(player = 0; > 1){}

Yes. No problem. I'm actually afraid of doing namings like that. res inside function headers also fails. And I know I've experienced more bugs like this. I bet Elrich also didn't know about this.

We all have our areas. You and Mythic_Freak are obviously the experts in the coding area. I just know enough coding generally to do what I want!

You two should write some random map script games. AOM could do with some more rather than just normal random maps.

I kinda feel alone in that area at the moment and have been for a long time. The only other really good one that has any form of activity yet is M0nty_Python but he hasn't made a script for a while because of the vadhall thingy.

P.s. I am making another mythodea! I am hoping to incorporate some of my latest triggers into it too so things will hopefully be interesting. I might attempt to add things like those unit towers and pahaps some attach triggers. Pahaps one of those cowrises I made in that other map. We shall hopefully see. I am just currently thinking whever to make the arena in the middle become one of a random terrain. I just need to measure the amount of lag created to run the algorithm to do it!

EDIT:Wow it actually takes 7 triggers to do it but the lag is not too bad.

I wish there was a paint terrain command that does not cover the entire map that works online - it would be so much simpler.

EDIT2:I made the arena have two randomly mixed together using clipboard rotation although the results can be horrible! It often looks like a noob has editted the map and made a right mess of it! I am wondering whever to stick to a single terrain.

EDIT3:I have decided I am sticking to the terrain but I am using the beautify trigger to create a random terrain out of 3 around the water edge. If you have different water types joining - you can beautify the whole lot with a water of your choice depending on which one you beautify from. It needs to be a sea however for it to actually change the terrain.

I would've found a way, if it took me 100 years.

(I'd probably end up using my manual bool-to-int converter.) I don't even care who made that trigger, it's of no importance to me either. I made it because no-one else did. If you want credits, just pick a random trigger of the list.

I've tried RMS scripting, and I'm good enough at it to make a map once I have a good idea. Only those good ideas never come to my mind...

I usually just pick scenarios that already exist and try to make them better. And invent00r can't deal with the randomness

, even I prefer codes I can fully control.

P.S.:

int kbUnitQueryCreate2(string qname, int unitType, int action, int statea, int playera, vector center, bool sort, float radiusa): Creates and executes a unit query with the following results and returns the query ID.

The simple answer to any straightforward query. (Trigger Loader.)

Complicated much?

Edit: @ nottud
I don't do RM because I've seen M_F attempts at it. AI gave me enough frustration already. And has he said, I don't really like randomness..

It's bound to lead to imbalances and random map screws.

I don;t use trigger loader in my scripts. One reason is it makes it harder to transfer to random maps because it would be wasteful to use the full trigger loader as I would hardly use any of it and have a massive long script to browse through as a result. I might try and do a conversion of it that will be compatible with my random maps. Then I might be encouraged to use it. Also I would have to learn all the commands. Eeeeek! One day I might get round to it after all my other tasks including possibly a trigger guide for my triggers which one of you suggested earlier.

Oh and by the way, these vars you can't use - are they all the input type vars? :

�"long": An input box for numbers. Output example: -1.
�"float": An input box for numbers that allows decimal points. Output example: -1.0.
�"string": An input box for any type of text (not just numbers). Output example: default.
�"stringid": Seems to be the same as string, but it may have internal differences. Output example: default.
�"bool": A button that can be pressed in or sticking out. Output examples: true or false.
�"unit": A "select unit" style button. Output example: 5 (unit name).
�"group": Army selection tools. Output example: 1,11 (player 1, army 11).
�"area": A "select area" style button. Output example: 0, 0, 0.
�"sound": Select sound style tools. Output example: music_file","1 (where 1 is volume level).
�"camerainfo": A set of "Cut to Scene" style buttons. Returns 4 vectors (pos, dir, up, right) that exactly define the current camera position.
�"camtrack": A drop down list of camera tracks. Output example: My_Camera_Track
�"operator": A drop down list of operators. Two sets are available: (==, >=, >, <, <=) and (+, -, *, /).
�"player": A drop down list of player numbers. Does not contain player 11 and 12. Output example: 1
�"tech": A drop down list of technologies. Output example: 123 (see technology constants).
�"protounit": A drop down list of different unit types. Output example: Villager Greek (proto name).
�"alliance": A drop down list of diplomacies Output examples: Ally or Neutral or Enemy.
�"kbstat": A drop down list of statistics. Output example: 0 (statistic ID)
�"godpower": A drop down list of god powers. Output example: Reverse Time.
�"resource": A drop down list of resources. Output examples: food or wood or gold or favor.
�"event": A drop down list of triggers. Output example: Trigger0.
�"techstatus": A drop down list of possible technology statuses. Output example: 1 (see technology status constants).
�"unitstance": A drop down list of unit stances. Output examples: Aggressive, Defensive, Passive.
�"uicategory": A drop down list of UI categories. Output example: 1 (category ID)
�"pufield": A drop down list of modifiable unit fields. Output example: 2 (field ID)

The above was quoted from your reference file.

Clears the waypoints in the trigger selection system

Hmmm... I never used those before. Can't really imagine what they could do either. There's a path system for AI, but that's totally independent from triggers. Camera tracks are done with console commands.

I don;t use trigger loader in my scripts. One reason is it makes it harder to transfer to random maps because it would be wasteful to use the full trigger loader as I would hardly use any of it and have a massive long script to browse through as a result. I might try and do a conversion of it that will be compatible with my random maps. Then I might be encouraged to use it.

Hmmm, I was working on that too once, an "RMS Loader", basically with the same functions as the trigger loader (except the trigger specific ones) and some RM extras (like a command to create a default area, 1 to setup the basic initiation of the map etc.). I never continued it for some reason...

Also I would have to learn all the commands. Eeeeek! One day I might get round to it after all my other tasks including possibly a trigger guide for my triggers which one of you suggested earlier.

That's why I included the reference file. It's just a bunch of often-used commands thrown together in effect so you won't have to copy a big chunk of code every time.

The following trigger already exists:
QV Set Units in Area (Center Unit)

It sets a var to the number of a certain unit a player has.

I need the code ASAP please.

It didn't appear in my trigger list.

And to pester again would a QV Change unit type by ID be possible?

Where the unit ID selected to change is a quest var?

(That should be all...)

Thanks, the above trigger is fine.

However the trigger in post 66 does not work, not only because of the symbol but it also causes a trigger block. I want a quest var to be set as the number of a certain unit a player has.

The forum converted % actionid % to �tionid% (without the spaces of course).

Conditional Army Units in Area
I don't seem to have the Army Units in Area condition anywhere in my files... If you (or anyone) could post the code I'll quickly convert it to a condition.

Awww shucks, I guess my map will have to wait for a few months then.

The Gods have left us, therefore making the old world crumble and turn into ashes...

But as the gods return, from the ashes of the old world, shall rise a more beautiful and powerful new world, and life will begin once more, if they hadn't closed...dang you ES.

Name - Conditional Army Units in Area
Description - A conditional version of Units in Area of army, basically seeing if there are any units near an army instead of a unit or point.

Conditional Units in Area, but with an army (one unit) instead of center unit? I think I could do that.

Quoted from Invent00r:
And I say good luck to you Elrich! I'd like to see you emerge as the third\second best trigger maker on AoM.

I'm much too modest to directly take the credit for my genius. I think I'll let Hail keep that title right now

Quoted from Invent00r:
I bet Elrich also didn't know about this.

No, I don't, but perhaps the one that gives ME ideas at night when I sleep does...
